It feels really good to turn back the clock on my weight. I like that the number of years since I last weighed what I currently weigh is growing. It's been four years since I last weighed what I weigh now. I'd like to be able to say 5 years by April, which means I want to hit 260 by then. I don't know if it will be attainable, but I'm going to try.
Yesterday I was definitely in a funk. Re-losing weight is nowhere near as exciting as losing it the first time; it's something that needs to be done so I can get back to taking it off the first time. I'm a little worried about how good I'm going to be at maintaining once I get to my goal weight because of it. That's still 79 pounds away and I shouldn't be too concerned yet. My journey is about building good habits as well as losing weight.
Way to look back. I am my thinest (is that even a word?) in 10 years... super exciting.. as long as I remain there.
ReplyDeleteI am about to cross the threshold and hit my high school weight...which sounds awesome right? Except I was very overweight then too....but it's awesome to come back and reclaim your "self". What I like most is that I can be proud of THIS weight 'cause it was an acheivement whereas before it was an embarrassment.
ReplyDeleteWe're all pulling for you! Don't lose sight of your goals!
It's good to look back but you have to maintain your focus on today. I wouldn't even worry about the future (look to the future though) because if you are focused on what is behind you or what may be in front of you -- you lose stability in the present. Profound huh :)
ReplyDeleteStay focused on what you can do for yourself today and let tomorrow come. You can do this.
Good insightful post by the way.
I am with you - losing weight you have lost numerous times before is no fun - but a must do. keep it up :)
ReplyDeleteOh, to be my high school weight again would be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, I need to "re-lose" as well, and it sucks. Doing what you've already done is not fun.
I'm so with you on relosing not being as exciting as the initial losing!
ReplyDeleteHey you'll get there. Since you live in MN you should go and get your RMR tested at Life Time Fitness. I think it will be an eye opener for you. You are losing, but what are you losing? Muscle? Fat? When I look back I see all the times that I would lose a lot and gian it back. The Yo-yo affect....
